Police hope new video will help catch gunman behind deadly road rage shooting in Brooklyn
NEW YORK -- New video shows the person and vehicle police are looking for in a fatal road rage incident in Brooklyn.
Police said the victim got into some kind of collision and dispute with another driver. He tried to run, but was gunned down.
The new video shows two cars pull up to a traffic light around 4:30 a.m. March 13 after getting into a minor fender bender a block away near Tapscott and Blake avenues in Brownsville. Both drivers can be seen getting out of their cars.
Police said the suspect flashed a gun and chased 30-year-old Jose Flores out of the frame, then shot him. Video shows the gunman run back to his car and take off.
First responders said when they arrived, they found Flores in the street with a single gunshot wound to his torso. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A memorial with flowers and candles still marks the spot.
"It's terrible, I mean, it's terrible news," said Flores' landlord, who said he's known the victim and his family, who live above his shop, for 20 years.
"You don't really understand why -- why would it have to get to that point?" he said. "Personalities clash, but it just seems like it's petty."
Family friends told CBS2's Natalie Duddridge the victim's funeral was held Friday morning.
The suspect was last seen on Howard Avenue heading onto Eastern Parkway toward Atlantic and Pennsylvania avenues. He was driving a light gray Infiniti Q50 with rear end damage on the passenger side.
